Could Not Lock File
I am working on a network and every PC/Laptop has been updated to the latest Microsoft update, but we are still having issues trying to use our Access database.
Please can you let me know what else I can try?
- AdminVDCopper ContributorBasically you need to rollback to the Previous office update to 13801.21050 it will work, as i was having same issue, rolled back to previous and error was gone.
- arnel_gpSteel Contributordo you have same issue as with this thread:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/access/database-no-longer-shareable/m-p/3039242
then you need to rollback your updates.- Nicole1984Copper Contributor
arnel_gp Is this the only way to fix the issue?
- arnel_gpSteel Contributori have not really experienced this.
so i cannot advise you on what is best.
there are similar thread similar to what you are experiencing and may point to another
corrective action.
- Gthomas5634Copper ContributorHaving the same issue as described here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/error-in-access-when-opening-a-database-on-a-network-file-share-6cbc1560-62c2-46e7-9980-d079a46f5acc We have verified all 4 users that are using the database are on Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel Version 2102, build 13801.21092 but still does not allow more than one person in at a time. I'm stymied.

Gthomas5634 This does sound like the now infamous bug from the December Windows Update. It's rolling on (sort of like a virus ??) as people get the update installed on their computers.
The most comprehensive discussions of which I am aware are here and here.
Daniel's article includes a discussion about rolling back and about getting the updated fix, if possible.
